Yeah aviationwiz,
you are right.Everyone needs a floppy drive.Never build a computer without one.I have a USB drive which I use most,but still have that 1.44 MB drive connected to the machine.
See ya later,

Some computers can boot from a USB-stick. They're often formated just like a big floppy. If that doesn't work, do try to borrow one. Windows isn't always very nice. It's too bad these tools (MTKflas and co) aren't available for Linux.

I downloaded a boot ISO CD image, the bios recognizes the CD as bootable and boots from it, but dos sees it as a floppy drive, so when it asks me if I want to boot with CD support, I can say no I'ts basically a winME floppy disc, put onto a CD-R, very useful!

I have now returned my LG 8525B, and received a new one in exchange. Luckily for me, the new burner came with firmware 1.02 already installed! This little fact will likely save me countless hours of frustration, and another trip to the RMA department of NCIX.com
